After three days of last minute shopping, wrapping, and boxing, we finally got the Christmas presents out on Saturday afternoon. For those of you who like hard-up stories, we waited for an hour at the post office to send your gifts. That's it. That's all I got on that one. Like I said before, if you were good this year, a miracle just might occur and you'll get your present before Christmas. If not, well, think of it as an extended Christmas.
Because we aren't made of money (and the ceiling in the parlor is still in need of repair), we've had to economize and group some gifts. So, I shipped a couple of gift's directly to one of my sisters but her son's gift is in the box that is going to my mom's house. All of the gifts for my sister-in-law and her family are in one big box. Same goes for the circle of friends in L.A.
For the same reason I sent both my mom's and one of my other sister's present in a single shipment to my mom's house. I left via email and text message explicit instructions on when and how to open the box. We take Christmas seriously in this house. No opening presents early. However, the package included a label on the box stating that there was alcohol inside. Well, so much for that surprise. Thanks a lot wine.com. I'm sure there is some legal reason for doing this. But still. Annoying nonetheless.
In other news, grading is done for me. I'm now dissertating full time.
